I'm not sure what to feel. Basically the whole process went like this: a friend of mine who was with me in the military has been working at an MLM called Nu Skin in Korea for about a couple of years and doesn't seem to understand the nuance of what an MLM is, that it uses constant fresh recruits...

What have you guys heard about 5G? Korea's going to be rolling out their driverless taxis in 2021. There's the whole spat with the US vs China too, like who'll get their 5G networks up the fastest... what do you guys know about it so far?

Just wondering what we all venture into on the YouWeb. When I'm stuck on understanding a certain historical figure or want to learn more about a philosopher, a channel that I go on is StJohnsTimeline then/or Then & Now. I enjoy watching war related videos too, like Reply History and...

No, not mundane questions like does God exist or not, but something like: If you had to choose between saving your child or the very last Bible on face of the earth, which would you choose? I ask this to people to fervently hold the sola scriptura dogma and enjoy the reactions I get from them...

What do you think matter is? Do you think they're things that actually exist and take up actual physical space, or do you think matter is something that's only a in a sense our perception of 'things' that 'are' and not physically existing? What proofs of substance do you think can work? Here...

Many of us on this forum prescribe or at least parrot Sartre on the purpose of life, that we make one of our own and just go with it. Now this existentialism is admirable in the sense that it's basically you verse the world and you finding a place in it, but beyond it, what would that mean in...

What do you guys think about this? Where would intps or the mbti types fall into, of the 4 types listed? Average, self-centered, role model, or resevered? I'll try and find more data about this research when I can. Also, we're probably reserved... Mostly anyway.

For those who are unfamiliar with Plato's Theory of Forms, Plato basically thought that there was a realm somewhere where the perfect idea or thing of an idea that existed somewhere. What I mean by that is this: let's say there was a chair. What makes a chair a chair? We're here reading the...

In the animal kingdom we are only able to visualise colors from a certain color spectrum, but for dogs and even reindeers, their color spectrum could be smaller or eveb bigger (apparently reindeers can see ultraviolet rays). What I'm trying to get at is that since colors are not universal for...

I totally want this guy: Turritopsis dohrnii. Who wouldn't want something that's immortal? I guess all you had to do is feed it planktoon or something once in a while. Literally a no effort pet :D Anyone else know weird shit they might want as a pet? Or just any pet would be fine.

What do you think nationality is, in terms of its essence? I mean this could differ for many people, as the essence can be boiled down into many things.. What do you think it is? A shared history? A shared biology? (speaking technically, e.g. DNA) A shared goal/principle? (the American...

strive to live with other people with the same agenda/motives/lifestyles. I find that interesting. Like take a pack of wolves or a horde(?) of monkeys. They seem a lot more inclined to stay together because of kinship and not because of ideals/ideas. I mean some of us do life on a baseline...

What do you think sets us apart from other animals more? Our wills- a desire for dominance, power, grit and glory, or our ability to rationalize- to plan ahead, strategize, contemplate and scrutinize? What is more us, will or wit?

I was reading some Augustine and he defines pride as "the assumption of self-sufficiency". This struck me a bit because I always had imagined that pride was a positive, as in a thriving and existing emotion, rather than an neutral assumption. Pride I had always thought was something that was...

What are your thoughts on the book? A lot of the students on campus seem to reading this book lately, so I was wondering if anyone on this forum has as well. Did you like it? Knowing that a lot of us already know a lot of materials related to evolutionary psychology, religion and philosophy, did...

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German theologian and pastor who went back into Nazi Germany during WW2 because he couldn't bear the thought of leaving his countrymen during the moral and political chaos during that calamity. He was actively against the Nazi party and eventually he was captured and...

What's everyone's plans for the holidays? I'm going to Japan to see my parents. I'm also thinking of trying to see this girl I know from high school, will update you guys on that. And yes Japanese people are really into KFC during Christmas, it's a capitalist tradition thing- but I'll...

How about instead of having a single individual theorize/fantasize/philosophize/lecture someone on the purpose of life, we have a collective answer to the question? I think this is a new way of trying to set a course for humanity, instead of trying to just haphazardly guess where we're going...

The food, the hipster Apple bullshit music they play, the subpar meat and milk shake, the Shake Shack ad they play INSIDE the store, and the pretentious postmodern interior design, their mediocre fries (which is shit compared to innout). Yeah, I'm probably not coming here again. Waste of 20...

So there's this dream I have where there are these books about horror stories, and supposedly in the dream I'm not supposed to look into them for some reason. There's like 32 volumes of them, and in the dream I'm ordering them from 1 to 32. I have different versions of the books it looks like...

I haven't changed songs on my phone in like a year I think. I mostly listen to these albums: some Strokes stuff, Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour, Macklemore, Balmorhea, some Coldplay, some Death Cab and some Nujabes. Anything would be fine, though I think I might enjoy mainstream stuff. I...

I think I'm getting old. Feel stiff all over.. It was really cold in the beginning of October but I think things have gone down. I feel like this coming winter is going to do some heavy damage. The summer was really nice this year, which is why I think I'm not getting used to the damp weather...

I CANT SLEEP BECAUSE OF THIS ONE INSUFFERABLE NINJA PIECE OF INSECTOID SHIT. IS THE BROWN SUGAR/YEAST THING THE BEST OR ARE THERE OTHER ALTERNATIVES.

Yay or Nay? Clothing with texts on them. What's appropriate and what's not? Or are they just bad in general?

What is post-modernity to you? Who do you think were the characters whom gave birth to the era? When do you think of happened and what were the defining moments? --- I'll start. To me 'post-modernity' is the current metaphysical, epistomological understanding of the world. What 'modernity'...

Not biologically, but socially speaking. Ants work together and are able to construct structures with huge organization. I don't think any other animals are capable of doing this. Why are most animals solitary? Birds on the other hand are able to travel in large numbers, but they aren't able to...

Hello, it's me. I've been

Who's watching? Episode 4 was pretty good. I really want to see the White Walkers come out and start owning..

I listen to instrumental, but I feel like I need new music to listen to because they're the only ones I've been listening to on the train for the last year or so. Something along the the muses of Rachel's, Balmorhea, and Explosions in the Sky. Any suggestions?

16personalities.com : ISFP-A. My formal MBTI test turned out to be INTJ. What gives? lol Compared to my results on this page, my INTP introversion seems to have stayed the same while my F and S were upped a little. My assertiveness is still the same however. Are there other INTPs who seem to...

Do we see sound in the 3rd dimension, the 2nd dimension or in just 1 dimension? If sound is a vibration of air, and if air is made up of molecules, and if molecules are made up of atoms and quarks in empty space and so forth, how many dimensions do sounds have? What dimension do they occupy...

Stemming off from the 'there is no good or bad' thread, let's do a bit more philosophy. For the sake of this topic, we're going to assume that 'good' exists. What I mean by this is that when we see altruism, such as a man giving a homeless person alms, there's the physical action of...

I've been thinking... the English language is considered to be a universal language, but there seems to be some sort of a bias towards white people that the language itself exhibits. What I mean by is this: let's say there is a Japanese man holding up a sign that reads, in English: "I am a man."...

I've recently been mulling over this single girl (who I later found out was dating someone) and fell into this 'thinking about her every second of the day' mode. But this got me thinking, I've done some pretty stupid things over girls whom I've had attractions with, and meh, why not share some...

Breakfast master race anyone? Not eating breakfast is for the weakwilled and lazy :p Orr if not, amen, why not eat one of the most important meals of the day? I eat almost regularly due to my medication Ive recently had to take. I usually eat some rice based breakfast or a sandwich. Fruits...

I tested intj, from an offical test administered by the school. So.. What gives? Im not surprised to say the least, but my rasion detere of intp sort of wisped away.

MBTI is basically a descriptor of experiences, and is somewhat a quantitative study on them. The cognitive functions, chiefly, is the prime example of this.

You wake up. Take a whiz, touch up a bit, then open your fridge. Depending on the needed preparations, you consume the following...

I can't believe no one's made a topic about this. My take: ENTP. It fits- an extroverted charmer but has an introverted, private processing, but at the same time he's unable (or seems to be unable) to exert sentimentality. Ne-dom, Ti-aux, Fe-tert, Si-inf (the Fe just sweeps into it all...

I took the test on 16personalities again, but in Korean and in English. For Korean I got INFP-A while for the English INTP-A resulted. Any bilinguals who also have different results? A good handful of us are outside the Anglosphere so your language may be represented here...

Question: has the progress of humanity been like a tree, where the development of its civilization has been spreading out, leafing and branching into whichever natural progression, or are we rather like a ship on a set course, weathering the seas, an ark carrying what is of humanity, steering...

Coming from a religious background I always wanted to ask people this question. What do people generally do on a Sunday if they don't go to church? My guess is that it's mostly a family time kind of day? (which in itself is sort of like a church-like activity if you think of it that way) ?

Welp, it started. Here's a link to the wiki on all the nations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Summer_Olympics#Participating_National_Olympic_Committees And here's the calendar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Summer_Olympics#Calendar The US sent 554, Britain 366, Australia 421, China...

We've lost sight of our father. ... What say you?

Do you think it's possible to order types by masculine, feminine, effeminate, or er, 'tomboy'? (just realized there isn't a word for masculine females... anyway moving on...) There are obvious qualitative problems regarding the stratification here, but hey, would it be possible to? How...

This somewhat ties into the lions thread. Let's say a group of terrorists have taken a number of hostages, let's say 3 terrorists to 5 hostages. Government forces come in, and whether by accident, collateral damage, or failure, they manage to kill both the terrorists and the hostages. If the...

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/03/asia/sotsukon-couples-living-apart-together-in-japan/ This is an interesting phenomenon. There's a huge elderly population in Japan and as they reach retirement and liberation from child-rearing responsibilities they 'graduate' from marriage, as in they...

I see this on facebook too many times, "figure X/person X" suffers, another person is inspired and comments. "If this person is going through this thing and if it's nothing to compared to what I have, I shouldn't be complaining myself." To be honest there's a tinge of irritation and annoyance...

Post your continent and number, from your father's side and mother's. Asia - Father's side: 6, 3 deceased Mother's side: 3 I also counted the number of cousins I have and it's 26. Interestingly enough, my father is the eldest male in the family, meaning, within the patriarchal context...

Which goes with which? The first thing that comes to mind would be appreciated, and using the spoiler tag explaining your choice would be most welcome.
